I'm surprised that they raised the price on the Pixel Qi screen. This was the original pricing that they announced in November:

Adam Tablet with LCD and WiFi – $399
Adam Tablet with LCD and 3G + WiFi – $449
Adam Tablet with Pixel Qi display and WiFi – $449
Adam Tablet with Pixel Qi and 3G + WiFi – $498

Then they changed it to:

LCD screen,WiFi — $375
LCD screen, WiFi, 3G — $425
Pixel Qi Screen, WiFi –$499
Pixel Qi Screen, WiFi, 3G — $549

What's up with that? They brought down the price of the LCD versions only to drive up the price of the Pixel Qi versions. I wasn't so happy because I wanted to get the $498 version which is now priced at $51 more and another $50 shipping in top of that with ridiculous cancellation and return policies plus no word on warranty. I am one of those who got the email for pre-ordering it after the hulabaloo on the ordering process, their server going down and no launch of a video to introduce the actual Adam.

I realized I'm afraid to pluck down $600 on this startup plus I will not get it before Christmas day. So I will wait until they become available in the store shelves or Amazon.com and deal with an established American retailer rather than direct from the new Indian company.
